Introduction

What Campsite is, who it is for, and the product areas it covers.

This guide is the detailed Campsite help article for this topic. It is written for UK employers and people teams using a branded organisation workspace such as {org}.camp-site.co.uk.

Campsite brings everything your organisation needs to run its people operations into one place. Instead of juggling separate tools for internal comms, staff scheduling, HR records, hiring, payroll, and compliance, you work from a single workspace that is branded to your organisation and accessible to everyone who needs it; from a new team member checking their company policy and first shift to a Super Admin configuring payroll settings.

Run your team, not your tools.

That is the promise behind Campsite. Whether you are a Start-up team, SME or any organisation that manages staff; Campsite gives every person on your team access to everything that they need from the moment they join.

Who uses Campsite?

Campsite is designed for every person in an organisation and for the candidates who aspire to join it.

  1. Staff - receive communications, view rotas, request leave, access resources, and use the discount card.
  2. Managers & Coordinators - build and manage shift schedules, approve requests, communicate with their departments, and monitor team activity.
  3. HR Teams - maintain employee records, manage recruitment pipelines, oversee onboarding, and track performance.
  4. Finance Teams - configure pay, manage wagesheets, and run payroll.
  5. Admins & Super Admins - configure the workspace, manage roles and departments, and maintain organisational compliance.
  6. Candidates - apply for roles, track their application status, and complete pre-start onboarding steps ahead of their first day.

What Campsite covers

Campsite is organised around eight core product areas, each designed to remove a separate tool from your workflow:

Broadcasts

Send targeted announcements to the right people, at the right time. One-way broadcasts keep comms clear, with audience targeting, scheduling, and push or email delivery built in.

Scheduling & Rota

Open Calendar for your week view, then use Schedule and swaps to build rotas, manage shifts,

and handle cover - leave and attendance stay in the same scheduling story.

HR & People

Keep employee records, manage the org chart, track training, and handle every people-ops task from

one HR workspace.

Hiring

Post jobs, manage applications through a visual pipeline, and take candidates from shortlist to

signed conditional offer (hire), then employment contract and pre-start readiness - including

right-to-work checks and onboarding handoff.

Your organisation's own workspace

Every organisation on Campsite gets its own branded subdomain at `{org}.camp-site.co.uk`. Your logo, colour scheme, and workspace name are yours. Your data is completely separate from every other organisation on the platform - no crossover, no shared records.

When you sign in, you are always in your organisation's workspace. Everything you see - from the navigation menu to the broadcasts feed - reflects your role and the departments you belong to.

Note: The Campsite mobile app is available for iOS and Android. The primary tabs are Home,

Broadcasts, Calendar, Finance, and HR. Open Schedule and swaps from Calendar for rota.

Download from the App Store or Google Play. Mobile parity with the web app is actively maintained

and growing.
